Upon warm up at idle chirp upon acceleration squeal becomes louder.

More then likely the belt or tensioner is the issue. I would suggest removing the belt and confirming that the noise is gone. If it is gone I would replace the belt and retest.

Here are some guides that will help with all this:

Attached is the process from the manual to do this as well. Let us know what happens and if the noise is not gone when the belt is off, can you get a recording of it and we can figure out next steps. Thanks
